The biggest swimming pool in the world is, well, quite large (21 Photos)

Located at the San Alfonso del Mar resort in Algarrobo, Chile the biggest pool on the planet sits. It is over 1,013 meters (3,324 ft) in length with a total area of 8 hectares (19.77 acres). It holds an impressive 250 million liters (66 million gallons) of water and is the equivalent to about 6,000 8-meter long pools, which I’m told is alot.

What’s Hot

Now, to hold the worlds biggest skinny dipping party!!!! Chivettes get in for free!!!!

GrippySF

I'd rather have a big skinny dipping party in a small pool, or in #18, jussayin.

Maverick

Sausage fest!

rorey

its salt. water how fucking lame

Notrealysure

Salt water pools actually aren't bad at all. When done right, you can't even tell and it's better than chlorine.

MAGSGQ

I need that.

Wait, you NEED that? WTF, my question was why the fuck would they need it in the first place? Build the friggin hotels 50 meters closer to the sea and let people use the beach!

I honestly don't get this.

Dan

Wish I was there.

Evan

Wish I could piss in it.

Mr. Fister

but…..Why?

Mrs. Fister

Because fuck you, that's why

Muskiemaddness

Because we fucked up the Ocean, now swim in fakeness

thatguy

Because the ocean sucks. It is filled with salt that burns your eyes and creatures that want to eat the rest of you.

AmBush_Steve

To keep rookie windsurfers from surfing from Isreal to Egypt like I almost did.

Greg

The ocean right next to the resort is unswimmable. It was a pretty big problem for the resorts in the area seeing as, you know, people like to go in the water when they are at the beach. When the new resort was built they fixed that problem with a giant ass pool.

Then the pool guy shows up with his really long pole in his hand…..Whoops!

That would be one hell of a drink bet.

Mikerhinos

Real ocean a few meters away ? FAIL !

Dan

If you knew what kind of nasty crap is floating in the ocean, you wouldn't swim in it.

Maytrix

Same could be said for many pools – ocean might be cleaner..

a large, clean swimming pool is a fail because it's next to the ocean?

Mike

Nope, it is only a fail to the OP because they are too lazy to do a little research and realize that the ocean next to the pool is unswimmable because it is rocky and rough.

Mike Jr

Additionally, the water is to cold for resort swimming.

whos.mike

I wonder where they got all the fucking water to fill it. Do you think that they used bottled water??? It is kinda dry out there in the sands.

alfovic

ehh, not swimable! people died there!

Alpha_Dog

That's not a pool, that's a man-made lake. But a damn nice one at that!

D-Wiz

i thought the exact same thing when i saw this. it's nice but not unusual. wonder what gives it pool status over a man made lake? or is bob just feeding us BS again? they seem to put a lot of posts up of cool things they find without actually knowing exactly what it is..

Steve

I don't know too much about the subject but do man-made-lakes have chlorine in the water?

gedda_g

I worked at a camp with a 3 acre man-made lake. They chlorinated it weekly by strapping a bucket of chlorine to the back of a jet ski and moshing the hell out of it. I think the difference between a man-made lake and a pool may be that a lake has sand on the bottom while a pool is nice, smooth plaster.

Christopher

It seems cool and all, but why would you want to sail / kayak in the pool when you have an ocean right next to you? Unless the ocean has horrible rip tides or something…

tank

sharks !!!

Trig

Rip tides, pollution and coz the waters cold in Chile!
"I thank you!"

Lil John

Because the ocean wants you dead!

JackDiesel

I want to pee in it.

Tyler

Is it the same depth the whole way across?

Chiver

Nope. 115' at deepest point. Pretty crazy!

https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=722809282 Oliver Vorian Wang

no. Some parts are shallow enough to wade in, some parts are deep enough you'd want to cross it only with either those yachts or a kayak.

jow

First!

Schart

First to demonstrate even in the chive we can't get away from fuck tards…

pickleman77

Sadly, he's not the first. Fuck Tards have been posting "first" for far to long on this epic website.

Fish

What's the deal with this "First" post thing? These tards never give an opinion or an observation or anything, just "First". Oh, well played. Brilliant! Pure hilarity!
Ya fuckin Moron ya.

http://echogeo.wordpress.com/ echogeo

I know! We'll put it right next to the ocean!

Liam_K

In 'Merica we call that a Man Made Lake.

Dr_Fap

I would hate to be in charge of cleaning that.

Guest

I wonder if it is chlorinated and if so how much it takes?

rorey

its just treated salt water

Jim

I don't see a swim up bar…

mikethemotormouth

i google maps-ed it. looks like it might be on the north end, south end, and/or that giant pyramid thing…although i'd be pretty upset that there weren't some out in the middle or something…

MattKL

Imagine how many hundreds of people have peed in it.

GAHAGAFAGA

I could pee in that and nobody would ever know!!!

carl

you could poop in it and no one would know…for days at least!

duh

Ocean is way to cold there

Eastwood

i would surely pee in it….and don't call me Shirley.

Leddy420

Epic game of Marco Polo awaits..

tv_paul

First thing I thought of too.

jay

good luck to the person whose calling "marco" first…

thedude325

Release the sharks…

SadeShadz

#8 This is epic o.O Wow.

... and?...

And there are no more than 20 people in it?

Nilbog

It's very difficult to get a .. room.. there. This isn't exactly a resort so much as a ton of apartments for rent, nightly. There are no amenities, no restaurants, and you have to bring your own towels and sheets for the beds. Pool access is not included in the apartments, it's 8$ per person per access. Meaning, if you want to go to back to your room for a little while after being in the pool, you're gonna have to pay 8$ if you want to come back to the pool. Or the bathroom for that matter. Yeah, that explains it.

Dick Innabocks

The charge is for the heated pool. The access for the main pool has no charge if you're stayin there.

Nugget

If nobody is ever using it…then I cannot understand the point.

Dick Innabocks

Many of the photos are advertising shots (you can see them in their web site). Others were taken during winter. On summer you can see a lot of people, but of course the number it is limited to those actually staying there.

Beast

It is in this pool, that the universe keeps its fucks.

freddy boy

Beast, I think your comment is very, very funny. Thanks.

Dick Salad

Awesome comment, I just don't think the mouth breathers are putting it into the right context.
